The contract was executed as a modification to an existing agreement and is administered by the DLA Aviation, ASC Supplier Oper OEM Division in Richmond, Virginia, with Carl Allen serving as the contracting officer. The place of performance is identified as Leidos, Inc.’s location in Reston, Virginia, and no option periods or additional line items are specified, making the award a single-item, fixed-price contract without publicly disclosed quantity or unit price details. The most significant contractual provision is FAR 52.222-90, Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors, implemented through DoD Class Deviation 2026-00040, Revision 1, which mandates that Leidos and all its subcontractors comply with non-discrimination requirements in recruitment, hiring, and contracting activities, prohibits racially discriminatory DEI practices, and requires immediate reporting of any subcontractor noncompliance or legal challenges to the clause. This clause flows down to all U.S.-based subcontracts and is deemed a material term under 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4), subjecting the contractor to potential False Claims Act liability for violations. The contract references Standard Form 30 for modifications, but contains no detailed specifications for packaging, preservation, labeling, barcoding, or inspection criteria beyond the item’s NSN and contract number; no MIL-STDs, technical standards, or accounting codes are provided. No contracting officer’s representative or technical representative is named, and despite references to invoicing and payment systems, no specific payment office, remittance details, or invoicing method such as WAWF are identified. The award’s basis, evaluation factors, and socioeconomic status of the contractor are not disclosed, with the only confirmed representation being Leidos’ CAGE code 5UTE2 and its compliance obligations under the DEI clause.
